: How does the end of Marathon 2 lead into the Infinity Prologue? Or am I totally misreading the dotted lines?
The dotted lines represent the normal order a player would encounter everything -- thus, Marathon 2 followed by Infinity's manual followed by the Infinity levels in order. As you can see, that doesn't tell you much about in-universe chronology.
You could take it as the SO's personal chronology, since it's natural to assume his knowledge of all the timelines matches our own, but I don't think there's really anything to confirm or deny that assumption beyond the genre conventions (we are the SO as we play, so we share his experiences and knowledge along with his eyesight).
